A Moment With Joe Biden: Modern Military

BIDEN: …I was watching the debate last night, and… hey, didn’t President Obama do great? He sure did, didn’t he? I sure loved the part where he schooled Mitt Romney on how our military operates these days. See, Mitt Romney doesn’t realize that it’s not the ’40s anymore. This isn’t the military of World War II. We have technology that the Governor just doesn’t understand. Back in 1982, I sat in a briefing with one of our great generals, General Khan Noonien Singh. There were just four of us in that room when General Singh showed us a new weapon under development called the Genesis Device. And, after his presentation the General said, “Joe, buddy I need your help. This weapon will help modernize our military, and you’re the guy that can make sure we move ahead with this. People respect you.” And I said, “General, I’ll make damn sure that we have this weapon in our arsenal to help keep our country safe!” And I did. I went to President Reagan and demanded that this weapon go into development. And the military got to work at our Ceti Alpha Five facility, and within a year a prototype of that device was onboard the USS Reliant. So, see these are the types of things Mitt Romney doesn’t understand…
